Tim's Oriental Store is one of the best places in San Antonio to shop for Asian groceries and…read morespecialty items. They have a huge variety of Asian products, and the fresh fruits and vegetables always look crisp, supple, and fresh. Their noodle selection is amazing, and I love finding rare and hard-to-find items every time I visit. They carry just about every Asian spice and seasoning you can think of, along with so many delicious snacks and treats. The frozen food section is also excellent with tons of variety and great options to choose from. We especially love their selection of teas and coffees. There is plenty of parking. Staff was kind & professional. Overall, it's a wonderful store with a great selection, quality products, and something new to discover every visit. Highly recommend shopping here!

Small African grocery story with probably the freshest ginger, habanero, and bell peppers I've…read moreever seen. They have a lot of African staple dishes such as MoiMoi/Ale/Olele, Jolaf Rice with fried tilapia, beef Suya, puff puff and many more! There is a small case of hot food in the front, and a semi deli in the back with vegetable skewers, braised beef, fried tilapia, and chicken. They used to have a braided goat that was magnificent, but have paused in production. I would go to the back and ask whenever you come. The beef sometimes get too chewy.

Although I've never purchased the vegetables, they always look fresh and always organized. They have ready made meals on the first aisle and they are always good. The grocery store is rather small but it has everything you need to prepare your meals. Also, they have a female cashier who can sing so good. Next time, I'll ask for her name. Thank you for always giving me a great shopping experience. Keep up the great work. TaKori

The next time I went and told the manager the spice I was looking for and he made fun of my pronunciation saying he didn't know what I was talking about and then told me where to look. Hate to say he exemplified the male stereotype for his culture. That won't stop me from shopping at this store as I can find what I need at a fraction of the cost compared to Amazon.

The prices were ridiculous! I ordered 4 pastry items and my bill was $28 I was so shocked, I…read moreshould've just said, never mind put it all back but it was already bagged and ready to go. There were no prices listed and I never imagined paying that much. Mind you once we got home and the items were pour of this world, I may have had a change of heart. But I bought my son a square of pistachio baklava, not 24k enrobed anything and it was nothing special. Actually, he's had better at other places in town. Definitely not a place we will return to EVER again! Back to our the tried and true place Baklavah bakery with reasonable prices and delicious and stunning food!

So, I went on a quest to find it just with the knowledge of the cross streets. I found it! The bakery sells hot and packaged items. They have a freezer with goodies too. I had the zaatar bread and cheese bread. It was heated up in a brick oven. There's a lot of savory items, but they also have some sweet. He gave me a sample of a dessert made with dates. Of course, I had to order some baklava. There were so many things I wanted to taste, but I had already had lunch. The guy working that day tried his best to help us make a good choice. The place is small. They do have one table, but I suspect the food is mostly taken to go. Parking is on site and shared, but plentiful.

She even helped me find the items I was looking for. They carry so many authentic foods and ingredients that I used to eat and cook with when I lived in China, and it brought back so many wonderful memories. It honestly made me feel so nostalgic. To the people in the reviews saying it "smells"... that aroma is from authentic Chinese ingredients and spices. If you're not familiar with them, it might be different than what you're used to... but that's part of what makes this place so special! I just finished eating everything I bought, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm so full and so happy with my visit! If you're looking to support a wonderful small Asian grocery store with authentic products and genuinely kind people, I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10--I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

Get the Delhi food into my belly! This is a large Indian…read moresupermarket! It's big! It's the anchor spot for a thoroughly exotic strip shopping center off Babcock. The Indian Super Market has a whole produce section. Most of the stuff you can find at HEB, but they've got some harder to find stuff. The spices here are amazing- they have a whole aisle with so many different spices. Christopher Columbus was willing to travel halfway around the planet to get the Indian subcontinent's spices, you don't have to go so far! In the center of the store is a little snack bar where they're serving up authentic Indian street food for here or to-go. The best part about this place is the snack aisle with all these strange flavors and exotic tastes to munch on. I also enjoy the frozen section which includes all kinds of ready to go vegetarian food, and desserts. The store is clean and well lit. The staff is friendly, but offers little advice on how to use the spices. That's the internet's job. The prices are mainly pretty good, considering that this stuff has all come from so far away. There's some real deals on the snacks! You won't find most of the merchandise here, except for the produce, at HEB. My only complaint about this place is that a few times I've gotten items that I've brought home, and found that they're long past their expiration dates, and the past-due expiration dates were either strategically covered with a price tag, or a sticker, or in one case- White Out. I've been more careful to make sure that the items are still fresh while shopping here.
